Super 8 vs Regular 8
"What's the Difference?"
A roll of Super 8mm film is 50' long and comes in a plastic one-time use cartridge. They are designed for easy loading. Just drop the cartridge into your favourite Super 8 camera and get shooting. Once finished you'll see "Exposed" written on the film itself, identifying that it is shot and ready to be sent to the lab.
​
Regular 8mm film pre-dates Super 8 by just over 30 years and is a little more complex when it comes to loading and handling. Also known as Standard 8, Double 8, Dual 8, or just plain 8mm, the film begins its life as double-perf 16mm film on a 25' daylight-load spool (see image above and illustration below). It is then shot and run through the camera twice. After processing, the film is slit down the middle and spliced together to create one 50' long reel akin to its younger Super 8 sibling. As you may have guessed, Super 8 and Regular 8 films are not compatible nor interchangeable with each other. Find out what your camera uses before purchase.
Super 8 film has an image area 1.56x larger than Regular 8. This makes for better colour fidelity, tonal separation and improved sharpness.
​
Regular 8 has a distinct look all its own and is capable of timeless results. Either way, I've got you covered!
Ok Cool!
